This has got to be the most intelligent method I've seen on RUclips - tightening the adjacent nuts and using leverage to get grip on the locking nut - Bloody genius, RIPPA!!! From a pom in the UK.
I appreciate this video. Im going to give this one a shot since gm wont sale me another key to replace the key i lost for the brand new car they sold me that didnt even come with Mc gard registration slip to order a new key either lol
Very clever, to take pressure off the one nut. Well done! Luckily I replaced my mcguard lockers with regular nuts before the key could go missing, but I will keep this method in mind for other "stuck nut" situations.
Just expressed regular nuts in a few videos.. Get rid of those stupid locking lugs and put regular nuts on. What would happen if a loved one had the car, had a flat and just couldn't find the key ? If you have $ 1000 wheels you can probably afford to call the dealer. If you don't get regular lugs.. Most cars have some sort of fancy looking wheel now a days..
Only problem is all my nuts are overtightened so won't be able to tighten those other two nuts anymore. But do like your thinking. Also my locking lug the outer casing spins round.? It's on a Fiat 500 X by the way.
You didn't have a problem getting the other 2 off, the inside didn't get worn down? I figure the 4 way would be tougher, just checking. About to give it a whirl in the morning!
This probably wont work with nuts that are sunk deeper into a hole like most mags. This works only because the nut is completely exposed. Good trick none the less.
yep, just realized garage didn't give locking key back from MOT on sons car, puncture today, thought sh!t! Tried this and worked straight away. Thanks contikiricky
bullshit, I'm female and I'm never going to be able to do this myself.... Bullshit the key lock broke and bullshit the dealership can't get my wheel locks off either without breaking their master key.... ....

this worked amazing for me!! i tried this same method without tightening the other 2 bolts and had no luck, until i did this it worked beautifully
genius work!
Thank you so very much!
Hey you just saved my life for real

BTW...you can do the same thing with a slightly larger socket/ratchet and extension ..use 1/2 in drive.

Great plan fella👍maybe save your ankle and back by LIFTING the end of wrench with a jack and the put a pipe over other leg of it for leverage??😉😉
Wow amazing whata trik thats some intellegent physics!
I would say I dont believe till I see it now I wont believe it till I try it and works lol crazy I'll try it at this point
How does your back feel lol mine would of broke
Locks only stop the amateurs!
Is that really a K- code?
spanking it with a 3/8 th drive
You shouldn't be showing this to bad guys!
So much for locking wheel nuts...waste of money and a pain in the ass...
